One Year.................. $6.00 Six Months................. $4.00 Succor Creek In Headlines Our Succor Creek road has made the headlines again, this time from a rather unexpected source. Thank goodness we have Rep. Robert F. Smith, Speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives, as an effective counter to any negative opin ions that crop up from time to time. He has the political power to more than counteract any adverse publicity, and he has helped lead the fight for completion of the Succor Creek road for so long that he is more than intimately acquainted with the situation. Actually, the new manager of the Vale District Office of BLM, George Gurr, was put in a somewhat unfair position. He admitted that he was a newcomer to the area, that he didn’t know very much about the project, and that he was speaking personally and not as a representative of BLM on the subject. This also points out how different reporters or newsmen can report an event In an entirely different way with an en tirely different conclusion. It’s no wonder that people some times get confused and wonder just what in heck is going on. The Nyssa Chamber of Commerce asked George Gurr to come over and tell us about the work of BLM, and to get ac quainted. BLM is certainly one of the most important agencies in our county and state. As Gurr pointed out, BLM adminis ters over 20% of all land in the United States, which is over 60% of all federal lands. The BLM Vale District has over 4 1/2 million acres, so this is pretty big business. Mr. Gurr is a very personable young man, and all who heard him are sure that he will be a very able administrator when he gets his feet on the ground. W e chose to report these facts in last week’s Journal, which was the whole topic of his speech to the chamber. His remarks about Succor Creek were as the result of a question and an swer period after his talk, and he also answered questions on predator control, coyotes, wild horses, and other questions concerning BLM operations. Being strongly prejudiced in favor of the construction of the Succor Creek road, and having worked in its behalf along with other Nyssa Chamber of Commerce and area chambers throughout Eastern Oregon, and having attended the hearings which were overwhelmingly favorable to the Project, I chose to ignore Mr. Gurr’s remarks as being inconsequential and admittedly uninformed. I didn’t think they were important to the message he gave the chamber, no more important in fact than his remarks about the coyotes and wild horses. ' Not so our friends from the dally media. They ignored the message he had to give about the BLM operations and played up his questioning of the need for the Succor Creek road. A newsman’s perogative, and we are not being critical, only pointing out the difference in how people see things in dif ferent perspective and importance. Chamber members pointed out, as did Rep. Smith in his news release which we have printed on the front page, that the plans and hopes for Succor Creek have been underway for many years. It was given unanimous endorsement by the State Highway Commission after exhaustive study and hear ings at the local and state levels. All citizens and groups were given the opportunity to ex press their views, and Succor Creek met all the requirements of ecology, environment, feasability and the many other areas of concern before these projects are finally approved. It was also pointed out that while some individuals pro tested the project at the hearings, which is their right, their individual protest could not possibly outweigh the affirmative statements given by the mayors, chamber presidents, county commissioners and others who represented many thousands of Eastern Oregon citizens at these hearings. Rep. Smith pointed out that BLM has neither the authority nor the responsibility to determine the highway needs in the various states, nor does any BLM official possess the know ledge or perspective to make sweeping and summary judg ments about the highway needs of Malheur County residents. Mr. Gurr admitted that BLM will cooperate, as they always have, when the project is ready to go. This all points out again the pushing and shoving, the charges and counter charges, the pros and cons of any project before it finally arrives at the hearing stage, and finally wins approval of the various governmental bodies necessary for its com pletion. Old timers can remember the many years of work, hearings, hopes and heartbreaks before Owyhee Dam was finally approved and built. Again, as Rep. Smith said in his statement, the State High way Commission stressed the importance of the project by establishing that the road would be constructed “with or with out federal funds”. In doing so they made the clear policy decision that the legitimate transportation needs of Malheur County residents could no longer be ignored. Funeral arrangements for Mrs. Ethel Wild, 85, of Nyssa, were pending at Lienkaemper Chapel at Journal presstime Wednesday. Mrs. Wild succumbed at the home of her daughter Mrs. Dwight Seward in Parma early Wednesday morning. James A. Whipple Services for James Arnold Whipple, 31, Rt. 1 Ontario, who died Thursday, February 17, at his home, were conducted Monday, February 21, at the Lienkaemper Chapel, Nyssa, by Bishop, Reed Ray, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
